An Outline of American Geography

Of the many inquiries that are received by the United States Information Service, Embassy of the United States of America, a large proportion are concerned with american geography. Through words and photographs, this book gives the reader a partial picture of the nation, telling about some of the ways Americans have used their land and their resources. This is in no sense definitive account; each of the aspects treated here within the space of a few pages has listed the titles of a few of the many volumes available for more thorough research. It is hoped that this introduction to the subject of American geography will add to the store of shared knowledge and mutual understanding between those who read it and the people of the United States.
